Buying Tips

Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

4×4 works perfect, high and low range

the last picture is pretty much how it was found when rolled out of the storage barn

i did not do much to the engine compartment, mostly steam cleaned it, replace plugs, wires, cap rotor, rebuilt carb, new radiator, i was going to pull the motor and paint it up nice, but it runs so good i don’t want to screw something up…….pictures look worse than in person”

This looks nice. Shouldn’t this also have a Tuxedo Park plates on the hood?

“1963 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Trim Package in rare Indian Ceramic Paint. This jeep is in very good shape for its age. Spent most of its life in California where is was in storage for 30+ years. Original engine was rebuilt in 2007 and original body was painted in 2008. Very low mileage(45k) vehicle with its rare Ramsey Winch & original Indian Ceramic Steering wheel, shifter and seats. Recently put in a new fuel tank, fuel pump and filter from Kaiser Willys. Please email with any questions. Price is $7500 obo. Thank you for looking.”

Here’s a nicely stock CJ-5. I haven’t seen a chrome rim around the spare tire like this one has. Was that an option?

“971 Jeep CJ-5, 37,726 original miles
(not a rebuild, this is ORIGINAL)

Original Buick V6 engine
Two tops (full soft top & bikini top)
Locking Axles (2 wheel to 4 wheel)
Great solid vehicle. Runs extremely well. This is not a show vehicle but not far off. Color is forest green. Interior is forest green and black. They don’t make em like this anymore and this one is as un-touched as they get. Once its gone there may never be another. Any reasonable offer will be considered. If you have questions, or wish to make an offer, please call (828) 712-6681. Ask for details.”

Buz spotted this one. It is a no-reserve auction on a beautiful, stock CJ-5. You’ll want to look at the pics of this one. Compare the picture of it to the brochure below in the next post, too.

“Selling for my computer inept friend. This 1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 is in Beautiful Original Condition, probably the nicest original CJ5 in existence. Totally Original Paint, Upholstery, Engine, Miles, Everything is ORIGINAL. 21055 miles. Clear Title. Original Spare Tire is not shown in the pictures but is included in the sale. The tires are believed to be the originals and are in good shape with normal wear and no weather checking. The Jeep has been stored in a carefully climate controlled building and has seen just enough use in the last many years to keep everything functional and working well. The Jeep starts easily, runs perfectly, goes down the road as it should, and it needs nothing. The Hardtop appears to have never been removed since new. All fluids are fresh and the battery is new. Look closely at the pictures, they tell the story about this vehicle better than words, more detailed pictures are available if you request them via email. The Jeep shows very minimal use and wear with no damage or repairs. All sheet metal is in oustanding condition and the only corrosion is very minimal, located near the tailights on both sides, the pictures show this clearly. Floor pans, fenders, quarter panels hood, undercarriage, were undercoated early in this CJ’s life and have been remarkably preserved. There are no hidden problems, repairs, or any funny business … This jeep is the real thing, a near museum quality original, unmolested survivor.”

“1959 CJ-5 with a 327 Corvette engine from 1962. It has new tie rods, all new electrical, new front and rear seals on the engine, 3″ lift and newer tires. The body is in excellent condition and has no rust. The transmission does need some work.

“Kaiser Willys 1955 CJ5. First year of the civilian CJ5’s, 215 V8 Buick motor with 2bbl carb, new battery this spring, 3 Spd tranny, Overdrive, front tow hitch, 60’s era bucket seats. Except for the motor and overdrive I believe this jeep to be fairly stock. I have some 31-10.50-15 tires on it with fair tread. Standard 9 in brakes so expect what you get for brakes with the 9″ drums and 1955 brakes designs. Runs and drives. Some rust peeking through paint with a split on top just behind hood. Bimini top and full soft top with two sets of doors. Soft top is fair. Keeps the weather out but rear window could be replaced as it is cracked. Asking $1800 cash and will only sell local. Can be used as is or would be a base for a builder if desired. My original desire was to build it up but just ended up using it stock for the past 8 or 9 years. Please respond to ad and I will get back with you. Thanks for looking.”

Bidding has only reached $1600 on this no reserve auction. This has a very unusual wood dash.

“PLEASE THIS IS MY SECOND TIME LISTINOriginal Willy Jeep. No reserve auction. 3 speed manual. The car runs and drives. This Jeep was restored in the early 90s.

“This is a full caged 72 CJ-5 with a well built AMC 360 . Full frame off re-fabrication hand built 2×4 square tubing frame. Rear quarter elliptic suspension of my own design incorporates a rotating cross-member to keep the drive angle alignment during articulation. It can go through 2′ of drop and maintain drive line angle without binding the ujoints! The rear end is a 9″ narrowed Ford containing a 4.56 Detroit locker with disk brakes to go along with the GM truck disk brakes on the front, powered by hydrobost, a new GM 1 ton master cylinder keeping the 5 1/2″ bolt pattern front and rear. ….

“For sell as a set only, a restored 1956 Willys CJ-5 Jeep, plus a Bantam trailer (jeep trailer, civilian). They were restored at the same time, painted to match. Same tires and wheels. The Jeep has a metal half cab, (doors easily lift off for summer driving) Ramsey winch, Warn overdrive, heater, new hubs, custom rack on back to hold extra spare tire, gas can, hi-lift jack, and shovel. The rack can be easily removed. The jeep has the original spare tire mount on the right side of the body. For sell as a set only, I will not split the trailer from the jeep. The jeep has just a few miles since the restoration, the trailer has not been pulled at all. Very nice set. Only selling to pay medical bills (new baby in the house) They are sitting on a lot in Vale, Oregon, as I live way out of town on a ranch. $7,500.00

“I have a mostly restored 1959 CJ5 for sale. I got to 95 percent complete with a total rebuild and was transferred overseas. I bought it as a 1963 model in 2003, but research on the matching ID tag, block, and frame serial numbers puts it in October of 1959. This Willys is mostly original with some upgrades, with no rust. F134 engine plus T90 transmission, stock front and rear drives – all rebuilt. The carburetor is a Solex (original rebuilt Carter YF included). Brakes were not completed and this is the primary reason that it is not roadworthy. Currently it is in storage in Huntsville, Alabama with no title or tags. I do not currently live near this Jeep so I will have to arrange travel for a showing.”

The paint on the driver’s side seems a little odd. This has the ventilated windshield, the 2/3 1/3 seat, and only 18,000 miles.
